Intense and complex Rioja red wine with delicious notes of ripe fruits, liquorice, vanilla and roasted notes. Ugarte Rioja is a well-balanced wine with sweet fruity aftertastes and powerful tannins. Wonderful value.
Decanter, 87 points: “Heavy oaking gives this wine power but also a drying character. The spice and earth is appealing though, and there is no lack of grip.”

Serving temperature: 15-17ºC. Decant 30 minutes.
